Two new Sims 4 kits reportedly coming this month – plus a new patch ⇒ Sims4Life

The leak from Anadius

According to a new leak from well-known Sims Community figure Anadius, two new Sims 4 packs – likely kits – are scheduled for release on August 21st, with a new patch planned for August 19th. The leak mentions “Stuff Pack 71” and “Stuff Pack 72,” but the numbering system for smaller packs often applies to kits as well. Anadius also noted that numbers 68 to 70 were skipped, suggesting those could release later.

Given EA’s usual patterns, two proper stuff packs dropping at the same time is highly unlikely, making kits the more plausible option.

What could the kits be?

Right now, there are no confirmed themes. EA hasn’t teased anything directly, and Fantayzia points out that with kits, the announcement window is typically short – sometimes only a week before release. It’s possible we could see:

An official reveal and names as early as Tuesday
Promotional images and details later in the week
A full rollout by Thursday at the latest

Kits have been hit or miss for many players, but recent releases have been better received than earlier ones. Whether these new kits will stand out depends on their content and appeal.

The patch on August 19th

Patches don’t always accompany kit releases, so this could be a sign of something more substantial. Fantayzia hopes it will include bug fixes, which many players consider the most pressing issue in the game right now. The fact that it’s being described as a “patch” rather than just an “update” may suggest functional changes rather than purely cosmetic additions.

Base game updates on the horizon

While the patch and kits are the immediate focus, EA also recently sent out a player survey about potential free base game updates with a focus on improving representation, adding cultural content, and expanding tools. These updates wouldn’t arrive yet – the survey was only just released – but they show EA is still committed to treating The Sims 4 as an ongoing live-service game.

With EA having no plans to end The Sims 4 soon, the hope is that alongside more paid content, we’ll see quality improvements to the base game and fixes for long-standing glitches.

When we might know more

If EA follows their typical reveal schedule for kits, official details could drop tomorrow or by Thursday at the latest. Until then, the leak remains unconfirmed, but given Anadius’ reliable track record, it’s worth watching closely.
